Peter Fern was mad on mountains. Climbing was the core of his life. Church towers, seaside cliffs, or ice mountains, anything -- "If it’s there," he used to say, "then I want to climb it." So the news of his marriage gave me a surprise. I’d never known him to take much interest in girls. Well, well, Peter Fern was a married man! I couldn’t get over it. I wondered whether his wife would try to stop some of his risky adventures.
From Chamonix he climbed Mount Blanc on his seventeenth birthday, and one of the Aifuilles the day after! That was it, than: she was French, from a family, most of whom like climbing. No doubt. No Other explanation.
A month later I met them both in town. Anna surprised me because she was English. She was a dancer in the theatre. "I never climbed more than sixty steps in my life," she told me. "Peter has his interests, and I’ve got mine. No problems." "None at all," Peter said, smiling. "Where did you spend your honeymoon?" "I flew to New York to see the Drake Dancers on Broadway. A wonderful show!" Peter said, "Didn’t want to miss the good weather. So I went to Switzerland and climbed the north face of the Eiger with Allen Dunlop. Grand place, a honeymoon! I’ll show you the photographs we took one day."
选项
A、Peter was afraid of climbing
B、Peter had no interest in mountains
C、Peter was fond of climbing
D、Peter got angry at mountains
答案
C
解析
本题关键是理解这一句中mad的意思。通读全文,可知描述的都是Peter Fern对于登山的痴迷,并且这一句后直接指出Climbing was the core of his life(登山是他生活的核心),由此不难推知mad的意思也就是说他酷爱登山(快到了疯狂的程度),因此选[C]。
